Ever since (at least) today's update, I have been unable to connect to my own TF2 server. The server is on a Linux hosting provider out on the Internet. My client is here at home. I had some reports from users that the probablem actually dates back to yesterday's update. I applied that update, but did not test it myself afterwards - so I can't say for sure.
The symptom is the client get's stuck at "Sending client info...". Not other changes have been made to either the server or the client. I DO run my server on alternative ports to allow multiple simultaneous games on the same IP address. For each game, I statically assign a port for the game and for steam communication, using a command-line like this: ./srcds_run -secure -game tf +port 29016 -steamport 29116 >From there, autoexec.cfg takes over for all the other startup parameters (map, >etc.), then server.cfg gets executed, etc.Again, no change to this recently - >been working for years. I noticed this weird "update is queued" message on the console: Connection to Steam servers successful. Public IP is 209.54.58.74. Assigned anonymous gameserver Steam ID [A-1:3672369153(3003)].
